Note 15 - Subsequent Event

On July 2, 2012, the Company announced the Bank had entered into a definitive agreement with Camden National Bank (Camden National) to purchase a branch at 63 Union Street in Rockland, Maine. The branch represents one of 15 Maine branches Camden National is currently acquiring from Bank of America and is being divested by Camden National to resolve competitive concerns in that market raised by the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. As part of the transaction, the Bank will acquire approximately $45 million in deposits as well as a small volume of loans.
At the same time, the Company announced plans for the Bank to purchase a full-service bank building at 145 Exchange Street in Bangor, Maine, also from Camden National, and expects to open a full-service branch in this building in the first quarter of 2013.This Bangor location offers an excellent opportunity to enter the expanding Northern Maine market.
The total value of the transaction is estimated to be $7.7 million, which includes the premises and equipment for the two locations plus the premium paid for the Rockland deposits. The Rockland branch transaction is subject to regulatory approval, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year. The purchase of the 145 Exchange Street building in Bangor will close at the same time.
